Very true but in my case the change was rear only.

..as the tires were a direct transplant from the parts car. In other words, the same Dunlop 195-75R14's were on both cars with the only real difference being the parts car had a fresher motor and 2.83:1 and the "good" car had the original 77,800 mile 200 and the 3.20:1 rear. The tranny wasn't even a factor as that was swaped from car to car also as the "good" one received a 1968 tranny at one point in it's life so the 1966 from the parts car was grafted back for originality sake.

Anyone with a 5.0 Mustang has experienced the "fun" you refer to if they have had to install the spare on a rear location.

You make a very valid point about "effective" ratio (axle ratio & tire diameter).
